5N D&T in Beech’s Base

This morning, children in 5N have been using a range of different tools (saws, hammers and drills) with Mrs Jones in order to prepare their pieces of wood, ready to put together their bird boxes. Mrs Jones has commented on how wonderfully mature and responsible the children have behaved this morning… maybe a class star is on the way?!! I can’t wait to see the finished pieces!

Yr 5 Wednesday 14th June Kabaddi & Sport Day Practice

On Wednesday 14th June please can ALL year 5 children come into school wearing their PE kits. We have the opportunity to take part in a Kabaddi workshop and we hope to practice our Sports Day events.
They will all need to wear suitable sun protection and have their water bottles.
Thank you

Medical returns!

Good afternoon,

If your child has come home with any medical equipment from school, could you please ensure these are brought back to staff in the morning!

Many thanks,

Year 5 team

All Things Bright and Beautiful 🐞 🐠 🦋

Whilst at Lichfield Cathedral, every child created a piece of artwork relating to the theme, ‘All things bright and beautiful’ which is inspired by beauty and spirituality.

They will form part of a display around the cathedral made by 1000 school pupils and will be on display over the summer.

If you get a chance then maybe you could visit over the summer holidays and try and spot your design!

Lichfield Trip… Air and Water Group!

What a fantastic day year 5 have had! It is safe to say the children experienced some awe and wonder as they walked up to and around! The children asked some fantastic questions and had some really in-depth conversations with comparisons to our recent trip to the Mosque.
Well done year 5! 

5M – Tuesday 13th June

On Tuesday 5M will be starting to build their birds boxes – using saws, hammers and drills. To save the classroom from becoming over messy – Mrs Jones would like to complete these tasks in Beech’s Base, therefore children can come into school in their Beech’s Base clothing and footwear. They will still need their swimming kits.
Kindest regards
Mr M

Lichfield Reminders!

Good afternoon,

We are all looking forward to our trip to Lichfield tomorrow! Just a few reminders:

  1. Please arrive at school for 8:15am. We are hoping for an 8:30am departure.
  2. Packed lunches with plenty of drinks!
  3. With the weather being set to be very hot, ensure children are appropriately dressed in school uniform. This should also include a hat and sun cream!
  4. Any children who require medication for travel sickness, please pass this to your teacher in an envelope or box clearly labelled with your name and class. Your class teacher will pass it onto your group leader.
  5. We are leaving at approximately 2:30pm and will be due back at NJS for 3:30pm. Please keep an eye on the school Facebook in case we are stuck in traffic etc.

When we arrive back at school, we will quickly go back into the classroom and then head out onto the big yard for dismissal (just like a normal end of day).

Many thanks,

The Year 5 team!

Lego League!

Please can my Year 5 Lego League team come to my office at 11.30am, with their lunch, on Wednesday: we have a lot of exciting building to do so we are going to have a slightly longer session!  Not long until our conference on the 30th June: I will provide more details within the next couple of weeks.

Persuasive posters in 5OP!

We are currently reading a non-fiction text called ‘The Wonder Garden’ in guided reading. Recently, we’ve been looking at the Great Barrier Reef… so we have created some posters to persuade people to visit! Well done 5OP!
